Euro Job Coach

The ambition of this project called 'Euro Job Coach' is to set a suitable training program for a profession that has recently appeared in all the participant’s countries: the ‘social job coach’.
The ‘social job coach’ is the person that promotes the employment of those who are facing difficulties in finding a job on the labor market (e.g. people with disabilities, senior citizens, women, young people with no qualifications, people with disabilities, immigrants) monitoring professional integration and providing individual support in the working places.
The need of this project lies on the difficulties experienced by each European partner of the project to train and specialize their ‘social job coaches’. Moreover, nowadays, there is a real lack of specific training program for such a profession in the participant’s countries.
Partnership consist of European partners – Lithuanian organization “SOPA”, French partners “Finaliser Transmettre Mobiliser” and “ARVISE – Cap Emploi” from Reunion island, “Picos” from the Netherlands, Inklúzia from Slovakia and Italian partner AECA (Association of autonomous vocational training centers). All the partner organizations work in the employment and/or vocational training sector.
By working together the partners will develop a ‘social job coach’ training toolkit by working on best practices, most effective tools, case studies, achievements and personal experiences. This would help to find practical solutions for employment of people from disadvantaged groups n the labor markets hit by the economic crisis or in which major socio-cultural changes have taken place.
